Efficient implementation DC motor control of up to 10 A in automotive applications

The automobile is a fixed element of our transportation choices and some of the big names in motoring have been around for more than 100 years. While cars have been inextricably linked to combustion engines for the vast majority of that time, today's generation of drivers will think nothing of a vehicle being powered by an electric motor coupled to a battery. While electric propulsion for vehicles is nothing new (many in the UK think back fondly to the battery-poweredˎ floats. delivering milk, whirring through their streets), the technology that enables them to work is substantially different. Without vast amounts of software and power full processors, this new generation of electric vehicles would, quite simply, not move. To lend an air of the futuristic to these hybrid and fully electric cars, as well as to appeal to the touch screen, smartphone-connected generation, they are packed with as many Electrically assisted gadgets as possible. Furthermore, for those internal combustion engines that remain, the focus is on improving efficiency, requiring even more computing power and motor-driven actuators to provide the precision control needed.
